Discover our H5's
Take a ship tour!
Ever wondered what it’s like inside one of our cargo ships. Let us show you around one of our most modern vessels – the MV Seraphine.
Top performer for CO2 emissions
We are the leader in our sector in driving real emission reductions across its fleet through a combination of capital investment, technological innovation, fleet management and other efficiency measures. To reduce fuel consumption and emissions, we have been investing in new, larger, more fuel-efficient RoRo ships and in eco-upgrades of our existing vessels.
In 2024, we were once again the top performer amongst our RoRo shipping peers in Western Europe for CO2 emissions per tonne km. CLdN’s weighted average fleet emissions were 37g CO2/tonne-km (vs 39g CO2/tonne-km in 2023). This was 9% better than our next-best performing short sea competitor, more than 30% better than the peer group average and twice as efficient as road transport by heavy goods vehicle. This directly benefits all customers and the supply chains they serve by reducing the scope 3 emissions of their cargo.

Bigger and Better
In the past decade we have been investing in bigger, more fuel-efficient vessels. These include :
6 H5 class vessels with a cargo capacity of 5,000 lane metres (MVs Faustine, Hermine, Laureline, Seraphine, Sixtine, Ysaline). Two of these H5 vessels are also able to operate using Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG).
2 G9 class vessels with a cargo capacity of 8,000 lane metres (MV Celine and MV Delphine). At the time they were commissioned, these vessels were the largest and most efficient short-sea roro cargo ships in the world, overtaken only by their G9e sister ships (see below).
2 G9e class hybrid vessels with a cargo capacity of 8,400 lane metres (MV Chaumine and MV Leonine). These vessels joined the CLdN fleet in 2025. They have eight cargo decks, including three levels of hoistable car decks. The vessels boast two conventional main engines as well as two large shaft generators of 6 MW each, which can be used for generating power or for electric propulsion. They are also designed to seamlessly integrate new fuels, fuel cells and/or battery technology in the future. Compared to the vessels that were previously the largest in our fleet (MV Celine and MV Delphine), Chaumine and Leonine will further reduce CO₂ emissions by 40%.
All of these new ships have been built by our ship building partner HD Hyundai Heavy Industries in South Korea.

A dedicated container fleet
In 2024 CLdN announced the order of four new LoLo vessels. The newbuild ships will have a cargo capacity of 1,100 TEU and will complement CLdN’s fleet of more than thirty roll-on / roll-off (RoRo) vessels. The new ships will have outstanding fuel efficiency and an innovative open-top design to allow reduced port handling times. The vessels will be integrated into CLdN’s fleet as from the beginning of 2027.
